Beekeepers shall ensure that the materials for the colonies are kept in a good working condition and that the parcel and hives are kept clean and free of build-up of wax, comb or other materials that may encourage robbing by other bees or wildlife. Removal of materials from the colony shall be removed in sealed containers or placed within a building or other bee-proof such that those materials are not accessible to bees or their predators.
Hives shall be properly vented, predator-resistant, and designed for easy access for cleaning, maintenance and inspection. (Ord. 2021-018, 6-8-2021)
